FileProvider error onHuawei devices

Question

I have an exception that happens only on Huawei devices in my app when using FileProvider.getUriForFile:

Exception: java.lang.Illeg         


        

Answer 1

Try to manually provide the uri

var fileUri:Uri
try{
   fileUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(
                            this,
                            "com.example.android.fileprovider",
                            it
                        )
                    } catch (e:Exception){
                        Log.w("fileProvider Exception","$e")

 fileUri=Uri.parse("content://${authority}/${external-path name}/${file name}")
                    }

get authority from android:authorites in the provider tag inside AndroidManifest.xml

get external-path name from name in the external path tag inside file_paths.xml
